Too Late To Love Me I Already Left With His Twins (Lydia and Dave) novel Chapter 112

There’s a difference.

I got home late.

Checked on the kids.

They were asleep.

Ava curled up neatly like she always is.

Then left.

By 11pm, I was finally in bed.

Lights off.

Just stared at my screen.

Then I pressed play again.

Because I needed to hear the rest.

A small shift in his tone.
